I'm recommending the books by Iona Whishaw. [View all]

She's a Canadian author, and the books revolve around one Lane Winslow, who shortly after the end of WWII relocates from England to a small town in western Canada to start a new life. Then a body shows up on her property and she's involved in figuring out who died, and why. Really good. It's the first of nine novels so far.

1. Dead In The Water (2015)
2. Death in a Darkening Mist (2017)
3. An Old, Cold Grave (2017)
4. It Begins in Betrayal (2018)
5. A Sorrowful Sanctuary (2018)
6. A Deceptive Devotion (2019)
7. A Match Made for Murder (2020)
8. A Lethal Lesson (2021)
9. Framed in Fire (2022)

I have read the first eight, and have the ninth on pre-order with Amazon.

I will also add that I went to high school with Iona, and she's both a nice person and a wonderful writer.
